She is also the co-founder of Impact Fund For African Creatives, a fund that invests in creative businesses across Africa.
Roberta has a global reputation for developing investment opportunities for African entrepreneurs in the creative industries, a devotion that earned her a role as a UNEP Goodwill Ambassador.
